Kid Outs Mom's Love of Wine for Homework Assignment

A mom's love of wine was outed by her daughter's school homework assignment recently. The little girl was asked to write a sentence about a family member and then draw an accompanying picture. It seems what came to mind was her mommy enjoying a glass of liquid relaxation after a hard day.

MSN reported that the girl wrote this sentence on a piece of paper: " My mom likes drinking wine," and drew a picture of her mother seated at table with a giant glass of red.

As a mom-of-two who loves red wine as much as anyone, I had to laugh at this revealing homework assignment. I'm sure the teacher involved as well as the mom got a huge kick out of the child's innocent honesty.

My own four-year-old daughter recently told me she was playing wine store with her dolls. Cinderella had to make a stop there while she out running errands.

My daughter also once drew a picture of our family and each member had a beverage. Her little sister was drinking a bottle, she had juice, Mommy had coffee, and Daddy had beer. I guess I was spared since I'm pregnant currently!

A kid's perception of the world is hilarious and often frighteningly honest. My girls call me out on things all the time. For instance, my daughter will ask me why I get to yell is she can't. Busted!

As for this other mom's love of wine making such a big impression on her school-aged daughter, I'm sure it was also slightly embarrassing. To make her feel better, I'd offer this comfort: We've all been there! My little one will tell her preschool teacher that I didn't shower yet today.

So stay strong mama! And pour yourself an extra big glass of wine tonight as a reward for making moms everywhere laugh.
